Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm/bugs: add test for panic() with stuck secondary CPUs
Upon a panic() the kernel will use either smp_send_stop() or
crash_smp_send_stop() to attempt to stop secondary CPUs via an IPI,
which may or may not be an NMI. Generally it's preferable that this is an
NMI so that CPUs can be stopped in as many situations as possible, but
it's not always possible to provide an NMI, and there are cases where
CPUs may be unable to handle the NMI regardless.
This patch adds a test for panic() where all other CPUs are stuck with
interrupts disabled, which can be used to check whether the kernel
gracefully handles CPUs failing to respond to a stop, and whe NMIs stops
work.
For example, on arm64 *without* an NMI, this results in:
| # echo PANIC_STOP_IRQOFF > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
| lkdtm: Performing direct entry PANIC_STOP_IRQOFF

I've tested this with the arm64 NMI IPI patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230830191314.1618136-1-dianders@chromium.org/
Specifically, with the patch that uses an NMI for IPI_CPU_STOP and
IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230830121115.v12.5.Ifadbfd45b22c52edcb499034dd4783d096343260@changeid/
